Re: Pointless phone conversations with your SO
[ QUOTE ]
The people phrasing this as "I love my GF. I could listen to her forever. Clearly you other schmos don't know what love is" seem more than a bit condescending. I love my girlfriend too, but what I do not love is talking on the phone. When I was younger I had MUCH more tolerance for it; now, I just really do not enjoy lengthy phone conversations. Face to face, my threshold for chit-chat is much higher.

If you are referring to me, note that I never once mentioned the phone. I was just writing to say that FlyWF was way wrong for thinking that sooner or later two people who genuinely care about each other will eventually run out of things to talk about.
However, I think your comment sorta begs the question...if you do genuinely care about her, and she really wants to talk to you (but you guys can't see her), and you do genuinely want to know how her day went, why wouldn't you make a 5 minute phone call? This is curiousity, not condescending.
